Lyrics written a couple of years ago about a friend of mine who passed away in 2010 (R.I.P. Lex - but not too peaceful, you better wake up as a zombie)
fuck you internet! (middle finger incorporated)
*****
VERSE
25 Days 8 Months and a year since you've been gone
finally I worked up the nerve to write your song
cos it's hard when you've lost a friend
to express yourself through all the voices in my head
and the noises all around me, and big brother on TV
in a world where 1984 has come true for all to see
you had so many thoughts and you always spoke your mind
we could never shut you up, even when we tried
now you will never speak again
others have to speak for you instead
CHORUS
All the Undead are staring at the lens, my friend
all the undead are staring at the lens
they can't see past the lies, flashing across their eyes
cos television left us all brain dead
living on a planet with stupid people everywhere
try to build a better world, nobody seems to care
they'd rather watch big brother, they'd rather just stare
all the undead are staring at the lens
VERSE
for you my first thought was those comics that you'd drawn
that your brother tommy showeed to me
there were stoner zombie stories of resin and its glory
but i never really got into your queer vampire zine
then one day you showed up at tommy's place
saying you're moving to adelaide and you need a place to stay
and finally I got to see the face
of the one who'd made those diy creations that you'd made
now you will never draw again
others have to draw for you instead
CHORUS
All the Undead are staring at the lens, my friend
all the undead are staring at the lens
they can't see past the lies, flashing across their eyes
cos television left us all brain dead
living on a planet with fuckin zombies everywhere
try to build a better world, nobody seems to care
they'd rather watch big brother, they'd rather just stare
all the undead are staring at the lens
BRIDGE
By the way you were wrong there is no camera in the tv
the voices that you heard were attempts at communications by ET
while the government is watching us the aliens they are watching too
all of us can do whatever the fuck we wanna do
VERSE
this nation was a prison once, you'd say it still is now
that seemed true to me the day we put you in the ground
i felt a prisoner that day trapped inside my head
instead of speaking bout how i felt i kept my mouth shut instead
i get too scared to talk sometimes, why? i don't know
just like i was too scared to call you up on the phone
i thought i had all of the time in the world back in those days
this is my unsent letter, my phone call never made
others have to live for you instead
CHORUS
All the Undead are staring at the lens, my friend
all the undead are staring at the lens
they can't see past the lies, flashing across their eyes
cos television left us all brain dead
living on a planet with fuckin zombies everywhere
try to build a better world, nobody seems to care
they'd rather watch big brother, they'd rather just stare
all the undead are staring at the lens
OUTRO
did ya cross the pearly gates or does the devil have you now?
are you flying through outer space or rotting away with your body underground
If the atheists are right, and you are just dead flesh
then you better come back as a zombie so we can have another sesh
